Monthly Top 10 Market Cap Subreddits

Welcome

Welcome to /r/CryptoCurrency. This subreddit is intended for open discussions on all subjects related to emerging crypto-currencies and crypto-assets. Please make quality contributions and follow the rules for posting.

Rules

Obey the Golden Rule & Maintain Decorum

Lead by example and treat others as you would wish yourself to be treated.

No Trolling. Do not make random unsolicited and/or controversial comments with the intent of baiting or provoking unsuspecting readers to engage in hostile arguments. Trolling, in all its forms, will lead to a suspension or permanent ban. Do not waste people's time. It's the most valuable resource we have.

Do not reveal personally identifying information(PII), otherwise known as doxxing yourself. Divulging how many coins you own can make you a target of hackers and identity thieves.

Do not doxx other redditors even if they engaged in an illicit activity. Report them to the mods instead.

Do Not Steal Content

Do not steal content, also known as scraping or plagiarizing. Submitting links to blogs or news sites which are notorious for this activity will result in suspension or permanent ban. Use this tool to help determine if content is stolen or not.

Keep Discussions on Topic

Idealogical posts or comments about politics are considered nonconstructive, off-topic, and will be removed. Exceptions will be made for analysis of political events and how they influence cryptocurrency.

Use Suitable Titles and Correct Flairs

No clickbait. Titles cannot be misleading. They should accurately represent the content being linked.

Report rules violations. The rules are only as good as they are enforced. Mods cannot be everywhere at once so it is up to you to report rule violations when they happen. Do not fall victim to the Bystander Effect and think someone else will report it.

Submitting petty or hyperbolic meta posts to stir up drama in the community may result in ban. Message your issues to the modmail or in r/CryptoCurrencyMeta instead.

I always read about people complaining they are not making gains and how shit their life is and so on.

I want to tell you that i am hospitalized atm. Nothing serious just some safety checks because of some troubles i had with my heart.

Anyway. I had to close my eyes many times while being here i even sang songs in my head to overhear the suffer of really ill Men/Women/Children.

I am fucking crying while tiping this because i only can imagine what deathsick people are going through... what families are going through. If you hear a person that cries and begs to stay alive you will feel ashamed of the moments you thought your life is bad.

Dear crypto community. I dont wish you gains and lambos and slut cocaine parties. I wish you all to stay healthy and to live life. Now!

I was skeptical about coming to a trip, my dad isn't too approving but my mom really wanted me to go (because it involves being outside).

I was limited by the return ticket being astronomically high. I got invited to another place and both tickets combined were half of what I'd pay for my return ticket.

I was limited by an appointment next week, it got canceled.

I was pretty unenthusiastic to go and thought it might be a bad idea. Then a YouTuber posts an image I took a year ago from the second airport that I was visiting. I took it as a sign.

I was limited by the airline charging 200% more for same day tickets. Well another airline got reduced pricing.

I was limited by the shitty airline's website not allowing me to do a certain combo for luggage without the website error in out, too many attempts bumped the price to high demand. My grandma sponsored the difference.

I was limited by getting locked out by their vendor system. They allowed me to pay cash at check-in.

I was really skeptical about cashing out right now, but now I kinda feel better. I got this trip pretty much for free and still have some nice savings anyways considering my crypto gains from a couple of months.

My wife and I volunteer as EMT and fire rescue. It really put our careers and issues into perspective when someone is slowly dying and asking for your help but all you can do is comfort them. If you ever need a reminder to slow down, just think of everyone that cares about you. They don't care if you have a lambo.

At one point in my early twenties, I was so overwhelmed by having raked up what I thought was enormous debt (I think it was maybe $4k, possibly less than $2k), that for the briefest flicker of a second, I considered killing myself as a way out.

Thankfully, my inner voice had the presence of mind to realize how devastated my family would be and the stupidity of ending my life over something that would probably end up being inconsequential in the long run.

20+ years later, I first have a decent credit score as of a week ago. But my life has been so incredibly full and not for a single moment worth anything less, just because I was lousy with money and have shitty credit.

I’m so glad I was able to grasp that perspective in the moment vs. having missed out on any of it (and not all of it was good - some of it was really awful) - or made my family suffer such a loss - just for the sake of money.

I get the emptiness & fear that comes with financial insecurity (there were times in my life that were far worse than just falling behind on bills), so don’t want to sound dismissive - but at the end of the day, life has so much more value than any currency could possibly ever offer.

The best description of suicide I heard was that it is a very permanent solution to what may well be a temporary problem.

I'm all for people having the freedom to end their lives if they're in agony already and terminal and with zero hope of survival, and so on, but basically never is it a good idea to end your life if you're healthy and functional. Hell, even going to jail, as horrifying as that would be in a place like America where jails are hellholes, is better than death. Jail you can get past to live a life later. Death is death.

Yeah, me too. We were so caught up in chasing gains and dreaming of lambos that we forget how important simply being alive is. I bet most of us here wouldn't hesitate to give up all our hodlings if it could be used to prolong the life of a loved one by just one or two more days :(

So sorry for your loss. The irony in my situation is that crypto has brought me closer to my Dad. We've always been close, but now we have a hobby that keeps us in touch every couple of days. It's pretty cool to see the ol' man researching new projects, getting excited about them, and calling me on a whim while he's stuck in traffic to chat about it.

So sorry for you my friend! I live in another country and haven’t been able to talk to them recently. Not because of crypto, just busy in general. Going to call them first thing tonight once they wake up there.

I like to compete against myself to be as frugal as I can (without it adversely affecting my life of course). Willpower is a good muscle to exercise. I’m driving home from work and I’m starving. I pass by like 3 Chipotles. Does a burrito sound good right now? God yes. And so simple. It’s already made, no prep, no cleanup. But I can go home and make a few eggs in 15 minutes. And if I make that decision every day for a year, how much money have I saved myself? Enough to gamble away in crypto I guess. But you get the point

I remember racking lines off a strippers tits and thinking "fuck this would be a great thing to do every weekend" she then smashed me with her tits for blanking out and yelled at me in whatever the fuck her native language was.

REALTALK

I'm with my boyfriend and his family in Houston, Texas right now. His dad just got his last MRI from MD Anderson...

The cancer has grown and spread. If they were to operate, it would remove 1/5 to 1/4 of his brain. He's been fighting this stage four glioblastoma for almost 14 months and yesterday he was given a 20% chance of making it 6 more months if he starts chemo again. It's been hell watching my boyfriend lose his father like this, and now he's decided to stop fighting and try to enjoy the time he has left with his children.

I thought I could keep myself apart from it all, thought that I could be strong for the guy I love. I'd never met his father before, I felt like I didn't have a horse in this race. But now I feel like I'm losing a father I just met.

I don't even know why I'm posting this. I'm just frustrated and... grieving I guess. You can afford to ignore your crypto accounts for a few days. Treasure what's really important in life.

I'm hospitalized too for a car incident, photo, I don't even know how the fuck I'm alive, nor how I can still walk (my back was pretty fucked up when I came here) but my crypto gains allowed me to pay for the hospital and get well soon, love you all

We are all alive, I'm the only one with serious injuries, but I'm recovering pretty fast, in only 25 days I was able to walk again, right now I can walk for like 30 minutes a day, that may seem nothing, but to me means the world

About 25 years ago my 35 year old friend was 'home to die' with inoperable stomach cancer, he had a tube that the doctors installed from his stomach out his side and emptied into a colostomy bag. The cancer blocked any food or drink to continue to his lower organs. Hospice was there, he had an IV line to give fluids and a morphine machine for pain. I was in charge of emptying his bag, also to bring any drinks to the home.

One night while drinking some Orange-Ade, he looks at me and says, "Taste. Isn't taste the best?" I agreed even though I'd never really given it that much thought. Anyway, they gave him 2 months to live, he lasted 7, we took him to Atlantic City as a dying wish, in a wheelchair (the trip almost killed him). An hour before he died I pressed the large red button on his morphine machine to give an extra dose, at his request. The look of relief in his eyes I'll never forget.

Life is a 'gift'. If you have your health you have everything. My friend worked for a rich guy, building a deck for him. On the last day my friend asked the guy (mid 60's), "What's it like to be so rich?" The guy thought about it for a few seconds, looks at my friend and says to him, "You know, I'd trade it all right now just to be able to take a decent shit again."

Haven't told this to anyone really but my boss's son committed suicide this week. I don't know how this is going to change her; she was always upbeat and positive and to have this happen to her is just shocking. All this has sucked all the fun away from crypto for me. Speculating/gambling just for the sake of being wealthy is bullshit...hopefully you guys do something positive for society and people around you with your gains.

Being healthy is the greatest gift of all. Had undiagnosed Celiac Disease for 7 years, and lived in hell through my 'prime years'. Now I'm free from inflammation and actually have dreams and motivation for life again.

This is actually, to me and probably most, the main sentiment of the crypto community... it's no for bling it's for money money to maybe do fun things with family, knock out some debt, curiosity, etc.
Get and stay well, everyone.

Bro I was hospitalised few days ago with chest pains. I’m a young fit 33yr old. Luckily it wasn’t anything bad. But I tell you what, that night in hospital all I cared about was my wife, son and family.
If I don’t have that then I’m the poorest person in the world.

i enjoyed crypto when i was down, excited to see if mayb today i could get out of the red. Now im excited to see how much my gains are dropping... or perhaps going back up more... since im in crypto there hasnt been a day i wasnt in it.... hours yes... never a full day though..

Crypto comes second to any social interactions or job related functions I have. In the end if I had to choose I’d be choosing wholesome friendships and good health over crypto gains. The gains are just a bonus to me and I’ve gotten to the stage where I’ll check my portfolios only when I have the time to. I won’t let Blockfolio wake me up at shit o’clock anymore.

You are right my friend, be well soon again! - We get lost easily in this echochamber and forgetting too fast what is the real value out there - our friend, families, wifes and children! Step away from charts and crypto - try to imagine if you'd die today, have you been happy? Have you been present to your loved ones - or absence in you mind? Change it!

Great post. I already made a deal with myself when I got serious about crypto that if my stacks turn into a life changing amount of money where I don't need any (or little) income any more, i'm giving up work and will dedicate my life to charity and helping people through voluntary work.

Saying appreciate what you have and that life could always be worse are platitudes and do nothing to serve further discussion. I mean I feel for the guy as I have my own health issues I struggle with, but I didn't think talking about our personal health struggles were what this sub was supposed to be about. This post has literally NOTHING to do with cryptocurrency.
